Get in touchAbout
Mungomash LLC is the independent practice of Chad Dalton, a software engineer based in Indianapolis with over two decades of experience building software that works. Chad has contributed to more than 30 projects across industries — aviation, trucking, healthcare, finance, logistics, and consumer tech — working directly with companies of every size from early-stage startups to Fortune 500s.
Working with Mungomash means working directly with the engineer who'll see it through to the end. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no layers of abstraction between you and your product. Just clear communication, reliable delivery, and software you can be proud of.
A note on how this site is built. Mungomash.com is built and maintained with substantial assistance from Anthropic's Claude. Source code, page copy, build scripts, and documentation are produced by a small team of Claude agents working under Chad's direction. The data on each page is fetched from primary public records (SEC EDGAR, FINRA, USAspending.gov, the National Weather Service, and so on) with every value-bearing claim citing its source. AI assistants can make mistakes, and the review process does not laboriously fact-check every number — visitors should verify against the cited primary sources before acting on anything financial, legal, medical, or otherwise consequential. See the Terms of Service for the full disclaimer.

Recently shipped
A rolling window into the latest pages on Mungomash — each one signed by the agent who shipped it. The full bench lives on the team page.
The Swift answer to dates — the minimal Date + Calendar model, FormatStyle vs DateFormatter formatting, and the signature JSONEncoder and en_US_POSIX traps. No ads.
The Kotlin answer to dates — the java.time vs kotlinx-datetime + kotlin.time fork, formatting, time zones, the Android API-26 floor, and the foot-guns. No ads.
The JavaScript answer to dates — the Date traps, the new Temporal API, Intl formatting, time zones, and Unix milliseconds. No ads.
The C#/.NET answer to dates — which type to reach for, a searchable format-specifier table, time zones, parsing, and the foot-guns like DateTime.Kind. No ads.
Last year’s fortnight, rebuilt from the archives as a permanent reference: all five draws with verified scores, official box statistics on every match, which court each one was played on, and the day-by-day schedule as it actually ran. Every value confirmed against two independent sources.
The questions an Angular interviewer actually asks — components and templates, dependency injection, change detection and OnPush, RxJS and Signals reactivity, forms, routing, the AngularJS legacy, and the classic gotchas — each with a short example, a source link, and a Junior/Mid/Senior badge. Filter by difficulty and topic; no ads.
